In 1963, a young man from Limerick took his GBP25 savings and
journeyed to London to become an actor. To pay his way through
drama school he worked as a security guard (once for The Beatles)
and served drinks to Miss World contestants at the Lyceum Theatre,
then a Mecca Ballroom. While still a student, he was picked to play
a small role in Andorra in the inaugural season of the National
Theatre at the Old Vic...Fifty years later, while appearing in his
fifty-sixth NT production - Pirandello's Liola - he was invited by
Director Nicholas Hytner to take part in 50 Years on Stage, the
NT's anniversary celebration. Four days on, he is on stage in New
York for the Press Night of Trevor Nunn's production of Beckett's
All That Fall with Michael Gambon. James Hayes has worked with most
of the leading actors in the country from Laurence Olivier, Maggie
Smith, Anthony Hopkins and Paul Scofield to Michael Gambon, Ian
McKellen, Penelope Wilton and Anne-Marie Duff. Touring the world,
he has played in Greece, Poland, the USA, Japan, India, Hong Kong,
South Korea and China. And, of course, Milton Keynes, Sunderland
and Truro! Shouting in the Evenings covers many of the famous
(Amadeus) and infamous (The Romans in Britain) productions Hayes
has appeared in, and records with affection and humour the changes
along the way. It will appeal to seasoned and amateur actors alike,
as well as those with an interest in all things theatrical.
